Julie says... Boyso, pyrethrum is only effective if you can actually hit the flies directly, it's not a deterrent. Recommendations for pyrethrum are found on US sites - they are referring to the little flies that hang around ripe bananas,which they call fruit flies - not the medfly we get in Oz. Since Lebaycid was banned here no-one has come up with a product that is totally effective. I live in a stone fruit growing area, and the growers seem to mostly rely on netting, which also defeats the birds. It seems to be the only answer, but a bit expensive if you have a large tree. I bag peaches with mushroom bags clipped with a clothes peg. Apricots are a lot harder. So far I have managed to save some of them by wrapping old net curtains from the op shop around individual branches. I need to find a few more! | About the Author Julie ROLEYSTONE,6111,WA 17th November 2021 3:30pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |
